Chapter 281: Xiao Lu Favors Connection Over Reason [Four Updates]
Although Jasper Luna was the legal representative and general manager of New Era Film, he was essentially just a puppet. He was Dao Ge’s man, so he was fully aware of Lucy Clayton’s influence and knew that if he didn’t follow her orders, it wouldn’t just be as simple as his own death. Lucy Clayton was a lunatic, capable of anything.
Thus, he had no choice but to call the police, and the report he filed stated there had been a break-in at his home, illegal detention, and robbery.
Robbery isn’t defined solely by the theft of money, a stolen contract also constitutes robbery, so while his report was somewhat exaggerated, the response speed of the Beijing police was indeed very fast.
Officer Oakley Vance arrived at Jasper Luna’s home within just ten to fifteen minutes. This area was indeed under her jurisdiction. Although Garden Road was just a local police station, the area it covered was vast. Their station chief held a deputy director rank, and she was currently only holding a full division-level position. However, after the Spring Festival, it was likely she would be promoted to deputy director level.
Ember Vance brought three people with her, all of whom were officers on night duty. Their station had nearly thirty people, so there were usually close to ten on the night shift. Bringing three people meant there were still four or five left to keep watch at the station.
"Did you call the police?" Ember Vance, flanked by her officers, entered and quickly surveyed the room. Although the criminals had run off, her professional instincts made her analyze the environment she was in as soon as she arrived.
"Yes, hello, I’m Jasper Luna." Jasper extended his hand.
After a brief handshake with him, Ember turned to the three people behind her and said, "Record this, produce an interrogation transcript." She continued to speak as she walked over to the window to look outside, also taking note of the arrangements inside the house.
The three officers sat down and called Jasper’s wife and daughter out as well.
Jasper began recounting the day’s events. Although he had exaggerated in the police report, once the police arrived, he dared not lie. He first told the story of signing a contract with a female student and how the student, along with her brother, came to terminate the contract.
